‘Time’ latest Trump cover shows him singin’ in the rain

TwitterFacebook

Trump’s back on the cover of Time, but now instead of drowning in the Oval Office he’s shown walking outside, singing in the rain.

Since 2017, Time Magazine has visually depicted the president’s controversial, ever-changing narrative through dramatic cover art illustrated by Tim O’Brien. The imagery has grown increasingly troublesome for Trump over the years — with the third installment, titled “In Deep,” essentially showing him drowning in his office — but the latest cover took quite a turn.

O’Brien’s “Just Singin'” art for Time‘s April 9 issue shows Trump was able to escape the storm raging in his office, take a walk outside, and gleefully sing in the rain.  Read more…

Donald Trump Jr. shared a Pornhub meme of his dad. What a cool thing to do.

TwitterFacebook

Just when you thought Donald Trump Jr.’s very, very bad taste in memes couldn’t get any worse, he’s bested himself by posting a very creepy Pornhub joke about his own father. 

Don Jr. shared an odd screenshot on his Instagram Story on Tuesday. It features a well-worn Pornhub joke genre involving non-sexual videos of Donald Trump with titles that imply he’s fucking over the country — or in this case the Democratic party.

Uh...

Uh…

Hahaha, yes, making jokes about your dad having (even figurative) sex is a totally normal thing to do. He captioned the photo with, “I had to.” But did he? Read more…

Trump’s views about ‘crazy’ self-driving cars are at odds with his DOT

President Donald Trump is an automated-vehicle skeptic, a point of view that lies in stark contrast with agencies within his own administration, including the U.S. Department of Transportation . According to a recent scoop by Axios, Trump has privately said he thinks the autonomous-vehicle revolution is “crazy.” Trump’s point of view isn’t exactly surprising. His […]

Donald Trump is reportedly terrified of self-driving cars

TwitterFacebook

If there’s one thing Donald Trump is good at it’s stoking the fear of the unknown.

And he’s now extended that to being scared of driverless cars, according to a story from Axios. Jonathan Swan and Joann Muller walk us through several things Trump has apparently said about self-driving cars — and none of them are good. 

Among the examples:

  • “Can you imagine, you’re sitting in the back seat and all of a sudden this car is zig-zagging around the corner and you can’t stop the f—-ing thing?”

  • Self-driving cars “will never work.”

  • “I would never get in a self-driving car. … I don’t trust some computer to drive me around.” Read more…

Donald Trump tweeted ‘VETO!’ and everyone trolled him with Beto

TwitterFacebook

Is Donald Trump team Beto?

One would think not, but on same day that former Congressman Beto O’Rourke publicly announced his plans to run for president, the country’s current president boldly tweeted “VETO!” Hmm…

VETO!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 14, 2019

At first glance, many people who had the charismatic, book and burger-loving dad on the brain, saw the word “BETO.” And because Trump is known for his Twitter typos, and V and B are right next to each other on a keyboard, it took people a second to realize he was actually announcing his intention to veto the Senate’s vote rejecting Trump’s declaration of a National Emergency over immigration at the southwestern border.  Read more…
